Abstract

In this paper, a parylene-based three-dimensional cuff electrode for peripheral nerve stimulation was proposed and simulated. The three-dimensional (3D) finite element model was built for simulation study of the electrode. The simulation results show this design has higher power efficiency than conventional planar electrode and it can realize selective stimulation of different fascicles in the target nerve. Moreover, the tripolar configuration has better control of the stimulation electric field than monopolar.
